Full Job Description

We are hiring a Lead Video Editor. You will do two things: cut great video, and make every other editor on the team better at cutting great video.

On the editing side you will own the hardest and highest-stakes work in the pipeline. Most of it is short-form vertical. Some of it is longer: testimonials, brand pieces, and interview footage that needs to be cut down and often repurposed into shorts.

On the leadership side you are the person the editing team goes to. You will assign work, hold the quality bar, catch problems before an account manager or a client does, run the review pass, train editors, and keep the pipeline moving so nothing sits waiting on a decision.

This is not a role we can train from scratch. We need someone who has already done this inside an agency, at volume.

What You Will Do

Editing

  • Cut short-form vertical video for every major social platform, sized and specced for wherever it runs
  • Edit longer pieces including testimonials, brand videos, and interview footage, and cut them down for distribution
  • Handle complex nonlinear timelines: multicam, layered audio, nested sequences, mixed frame rates and formats
  • Color correct and white balance so every video from a shoot matches, including footage shot in log
  • Build sound design and mix to a professional standard: levels, cleanup, music, and effects
  • Create motion graphics, VFX, and typography in After Effects
  • Work across 10+ client brands at once, holding each brand's distinct look and voice
  • Deliver finals through Dropbox Replay and turn revisions fast

Leading the team

  • Serve as the point person for the editing team: assignments, questions, blockers, and escalations
  • Review other editors' work and give clear, specific notes they can act on
  • Own editing standards: export specs, naming conventions, project structure, template libraries, delivery checklists
  • Train editors and get new ones productive quickly
  • Manage the editing pipeline in ClickUp so every task has an owner, a due date, and a current status
  • Balance workload across the team and flag capacity problems before deadlines slip
  • Report editing status, risks, and needs to leadership without being chased for it

Job Requirements

You Must Have

  • 4 or more years editing professionally, with meaningful time inside an agency or production company
  • Experience leading or mentoring other editors, formally or informally
  • Advanced Adobe Premiere Pro and strong After Effects
  • Real command of color correction, white balance, and matching footage across a shoot
  • Sound design and audio mixing skills, not just dropping a music track under a cut
  • Typography and text animation that looks designed, not defaulted
  • Motion graphics and VFX capability (tracking, masking, keying, compositing)
  • Short-form vertical as your default format, with proof you understand hooks, pacing, and retention across platforms
  • Working knowledge of how specs and best practices differ platform to platform, and how to deliver one piece of content for several of them
  • Comfort working in longer formats and cutting them down cleanly
  • Strong project management and organization: you track your own work and other people's
  • Strong command of US English grammar, and enough familiarity with US culture to catch when a hook, a caption, or a joke will not land with an American audience
  • Clear written and spoken English, and comfort giving direct feedback kindly
  • A 4K-capable editing machine and fast, reliable internet (25 Mbps upload or better)
  • Availability for full-time hours with real overlap with US Central Time, including a daily window for review and calls

You Must Demonstrate

  • Judgment. You know which cut serves the client and can explain why.
  • Ownership. When something is late or wrong, you say so first and bring the fix with you.
  • Consistency. Same quality, same deadline, every week, across every brand.
  • Leadership people actually want to follow. Editors get better because you are there.
  • Composure with revisions and vague notes. You ask the question instead of guessing.
